World Bank and Zambia renew partnership to promote jobs, invest in people

The new World Bank Country Partnership Framework (CPF) supports Zambia in three strategic areas: promoting opportunities and jobs for the rural poor, investing in public services and social protection, and building resilience in institutions.

“The World Bank’s support to Zambia is important because 58% of Zambia’s 16.6 million people earn less than the international poverty line of $1.90 per day compared to 41% across Sub-Saharan Africa, and three quarters of the country’s poorest citizens live in rural areas,” said Ina Ruthenberg, World Bank Country Manager for Zambia.
